ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Executives at WGN America have ordered another season of the TV drama “Manhattan.”
The announcement came Tuesday as the cable network prepares to air the first season’s finale this weekend.
The network’s president and general manager, Matt Cherniss, says he’s thrilled with the show’s success so far.
Cherniss says writer-producer Sam Shaw and director Thomas Schlamme have brought to life the World War II-era Manhattan Project in a brilliant way.
The drama follows a group of scientists and their families as they attempt to navigate a world of secrets and lies while developing the first atomic bombs.
The drama is set in a makeshift, desolate community in northern New Mexico.
At its peak, the Manhattan Project employed 130,000 workers, but it was kept largely secret and out of public view.

WGN’s new series, “Manhattan,” a fictionalized look at life in Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project, only has two episodes left for the season.
The Los Alamos Historical Society wants to again thank everyone who comes to our viewings and discussions for contributing their thoughts, questions, and experiences.
Every week the society updates a bulletin board in the museum to continue exploring questions and reactions as the 13-episode series continues.
Previous episodes are discussed on the website, losalamoshistory.org, on its Facebook page and in the museum.
Join the Los Alamos Historical Society Sundays at Time Out Pizzeria in Los Alamos from 8-9:30 p.m. for a viewing and discussion of Manhattan (TV-14 rating).
Episode 11: “Tangier”
Was there a shooting at the main gate?

If there was ever a band who loves playing together and bring hope through harmony… It is Brother Sun.
The ensemble will be performing Tuesday at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Los Alamos. Show time is 7 p.m.
Their blend of folk, jazz and blues music landed them with a No. 1 album “Some Part of The Truth” on the Folk-DJ Chart in 2013, where it remained for two months, and received strong airplay for the entire year and ended as the No. 1 CD on the chart for all of 2013. The CD also rose to No. 2 on Sirius XM’s Americana Chart. The lead track “Lady of the Harbor,” about the Statue of Liberty reached No. 1 on the Folk-DJ that same year.
The band members are unique in that they are not from one particular place. The trio lives in separate areas of the United States, but come together to tour a majority of the year.
“We have done solo work, but as soon as we start singing, we just sound like us,” Joe Jencks said. All of them lend their vocals to the performance.
Jencks is from Chicago and plays guitar, banjo and the bouzouki — part of the mandolin family. Greg Greenway plays guitar, piano and ukulele and Pat Wictor can play several styles of guitar, including slide, electric and acoustic.

Episode 10: “The Understudy”
Did the government take land from Native Americans for the Manhattan Project?

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The married stars of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” are trading the drama of reality TV for prison.
Teresa Giudice was sentenced Oct. 2 in U.S. District Court to 15 months in prison on conspiracy and bankruptcy fraud charges while her husband, Giuseppe “Joe” Giudice, was sentenced to 41 months by a judge who castigated them for failing to disclose all their assets yet gave both a measure of leniency.
In a nod to the couple’s four young daughters, Judge Esther Salas staggered the sentences so that Teresa Giudice will serve her sentence first. Teresa Giudice is scheduled to report to prison in early January.
Teresa Giudice, 42, cried as she apologized in court before her sentencing.
“I fully take responsibility for my actions. I need to learn to take responsibility for myself,” she said. “I can’t even explain the pain that I have gone through. I am more sorry than anybody will ever know or understand.”
Joe Giudice also apologized and said he had disgraced many people. He faces an immigration hearing when he completes his sentence and likely will be deported. His attorney has said Giudice came to the U.S. as an infant and didn’t know he wasn’t an American citizen until he was an adult.

With only four episodes to go, there was another great turnout for the Los Alamos Historical Society’s viewing of episode 9 of WGN’s series, Manhattan, a fictionalized look at life in Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project.
A special thanks to the members of the Los Alamos High School Class of 1964 who came to watch the show.

Episode 9: “Spooky Action at a Distance”
Did any scientists work off-site?
Emilio Segrè worked off-site during the Manhattan Project. Segrè was in charge of the Radioactivity Group (P-5). His group was set up in the Pajarito Canyon near Los Alamos in an unused Forest Service cabin. His group’s job was to measure and catalog the radioactivity of various fission products; they also measured the gamma radiation from the Trinity test.
Did B-29s drop bombs here?
